[AREX Monthly Station] Convenient Transfers at Gongdeok Station




Greeting from AREX :)



Today, we are talking about a place in Mapo-gu with plenty of transfers allowing you to
easily reach the center of Seoul!
I introduce to you: Gongdeok Station.


Located in the midst of residential development, Gongdeok Station’s curved glass roof is
a sight to see in a place allowing simple transfers. 

Starting with AREX, transfers are conveniently available all riders along the 5, 6, and
Jungang Lines.




For the safety of passengers, safety equipment is stored within the station with a
emergency exit located at the very end of the platform to be used if necessary.

Useful information related to the trains such as train locations and estimated arrival
times is available in real time and easy to see for men and women of all ages.



Purchasing of tickets, recharging of transportation cards, and adding fare to a current
ticket are all available at the information center, so if you are in need of assistance, just
ring the bell and someone will come to assist you in person.

Further, outside of Gongdeok Station’s gates are both a defibrillator and deposit refund
machine installed for passengers’ safety and convenience, respectively.



Within the station is a noodle specialty shop called “Noodle King” and a chicken and
burger specialty shop called “Tenjoy” so you can have a nice simple meal.

There is also a convenience store called “emart24” where you can buy a variety of good
from foods, drinks, and daily necessities. So, whenever you are moving about the station
or making a transfer, you can conveniently stop by and pick up whatever you need along your way.

So far we have discussed what all is INSIDE the station, but how about we take a look at all the attractions you can take advantage of OUTSIDE?

1. What kind of place is Gongdeok Market??



Located in Gongdeok-2-Dong, a neighborhood of Mapo-Gu, Seoul, Gongdeok Market is 
known as a specialty market with alleys filled with everything 
from Korean pancakes to pigs feet.

In the pig’s feet alley, restaurants stand side-by-side 
where you can try all sorts of varieties of pig’s feet including medicinal pig’s feet,
